Half the presidents on Rushmore were Southerners. So also were Madison and Monroe, as were Andrew Jackson, James Knox Polk, and Andrew Johnson. Jefferson, Polk, and Jackson, among the three of them, defined the outline of the United States and made sure it went all the way to the Pacific and all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Did Garfield or Chester Arthur or John Adams or Cal Coolidge do that?
Then Northerners decided that Southerners couldn't play any more, killed as many of them as they could, and looted the continent for their own benefit.
Result: Two world wars, three medium-sized wars, four panics, a depression, and one stagflationary recession since the REAL South was excluded from the White House, and only the Freaks you Yankees like to vote for were elected.
The South didn't vote for LBJ, Clinton, or Carter. You did.
Eat your words, wordgrinder.
Oh, and Poppy is a Connecticut Yankee, and Shrub counts as half of one, and half West Texas. The West Texas half is all man; the Yankee half cossets homosexual Yale ring-knockers and toe-tappers, and spent all his time giving tax breaks to silver-haired Ivy League graduates.
ROTFLMAO!!! You guys crack me up every time.
That's a pretty ironic thing for you to be acting as if it's something to be proud of, considering that your position is that a whole section of territory (and specifically all the territory on the Gulf) can stop being part of the United States by saying the magic words, "I secede."
It's hypocritical of you to at once invoke the rhetoric of "a mighty nation stretching from sea to shining sea," while arguing for an interpretation of the Constitution that leaves the United States little more difficult to shrink than a cheap cotton t-shirt.
